My Twitter Account posted:Any spook-a-doodle parents want to share tips on raising my offspring to love horror? As a kid, my mom would actually tell me the plots of old horror movies or Stephen King novels as bedtime stories. I never actually saw them until I was much older, but I could describe The Blob or Bucket of Blood or Little Shop of Horrors by the time I was 6. Plus, I was an artsy kid so all these stories made their way into my doodle pads. With newer stuff, the 80's musical version of LSoH might be spooky but also fun. For animated stuff, I'm sure you've shown her Nightmare Before Christmas, but Para-Norman was also a lot of fun. If you can find Disney's The Black Cauldron, that's got some intense moments with the Horned King. Same with The Secret of NIHM. This is probably the paternal/educator instinct in me, but whatever you pick, it's a cool opportunity to talk about, "Why do you think this is scary or not?" or "Why do you think other people find this scary?" and also "Want to find out how they made those effects?" More than anything, in my family, watching sci-fi or horror was always a conversation starter.

I'm not renting any movie for $20. I'll occasionally pay those prices for an IMAX ticket, but not for the privilege of watching a movie once on my own home theater. That said, The Invisible Man is awesome and everyone should watch it.

I'm surprised so many people liked the invisible Man. It did have a clever premise but the pacing was weird and it seemed to end just as it was gaining momentum.

But I subscribe to Shudder and a couple other streaming services, so even in quarantine $20 for one movie feels steep. I need that money to pay scalper prices for toilet paper.

It also has the air of a movie that thinks it's much, much smarter than it is. I really hate that. It's got a great cast that are definitely doing their best but are let down by frankly insane plotting. How do you put Macon Blair in this and not give him much of anything to do?? e: Oh, Damon Lindelof wrote this. That explains a lot. flashy_mcflash fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Mar 21, 2020 |

If you've got extra cash and like owning physical copies, Vinegar Syndrome is having a pre-quarantine sale to help keep the lights on. An additional 15% off everything but the April pre-orders. Looks like everything in the US qualifies for free shipping, and to expedite it they're not combining orders.

The tension crafted in The Invisible Man was so good because a scene with no music and nothing happening in an empty kitchen shouldn't be that anxiety-inducing. The jump scares were earned and almost a relief. It sucks that the logistics of the plot fall apart thinking about it though. I was half expecting the man to be able to teleport or some poo poo, how did he make it back to his house at almost the same time as Cecilia? He catch an Uber too?

Not strictly horror but Mark Hartley's doc about Cannon Films, Electric Boogaloo, is online for free. It's excellent!

A lot of it doesn't make sense, he leaves no footprints, makes no sound, he's apparently a ninja that sneaks through doors only when others open them for him, no one can smell him, he apparently never had to piss/poo poo/eat in the suit. Fun though.

Why does it take her forever to grab one of the many dead hospital guards' many guns, and why doesn't she shoot Adrian while he's taunting the one guard, even though she can see he has his back to her? I'm sure there's more, too. Ugh, this movie sucked.

Got around to watching The Platform last night on Netflix and I really enjoyed it. Usually the capital "N" is a stamp of mediocrity, but this movie worked against that grain. It's a little bit of Cube, The Lighthouse, and Parasite all in a Spanish setting and all the food looks gorgeous until it really doesn't. Barely any tropes and sporting a good, crisp runtime, you basically have an extended Twilight Zone episode that has some hard biting social commentary and excellent gore. Movie good.
